You’re mostly right. What I don’t agree with is that Google could stand to treat its “partners” better by being clear and giving warnings.

And we don’t have to be irrelevant. Some affiliates make Google a lot of money. Google is not saying it doesn’t want affiliates, it’s just saying it wants affiliates to do things a certain way without coming out with it.

Those that do will make piles of money.

Why do they should they care about internet marketers?

One of my my main stream clients will put more money in a month into his adwords than a dozen affliate marketers.

And he is just a tiny blip in comparison to what mainstream advertisers are prepared to pay for targeted eyeballs once they’ve figured out what to do with them.

We are irrelevant. And Google has rightly factored us out.

I look forward to reading your report.
